NEW BRUNSWICK — A motorcyclist remained in critical condition today in a New Brunswick Hospital where he was taken after colliding with two cars Saturday on Route 1 in Edison.

At 5:30 p.m. Saturday, the cyclist was driving north on Route 1 and traveling in the left traffic lane when he turned his head to the right to change lanes and apparently did not see a car stopping in front of him, police Sgt. Darrin Cerminaro said.

When the car stopped for traffic near the intersection of Forest Haven Boulevard, just north of Old Post Road, the motorcyclist hit the back of the car then careened into the middle lane and collided with a second car, Cerminaro said.

The motorcyclist, whose name was not available, was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, where he was admitted for treatment of head injuries, the sergeant said. He said nobody was injured in the two cars.
